Taiwan's second half of 2026 features several public holidays, including the Mid-Autumn Festival, Teachers' Day, National Day, and Constitution Day (which also falls on Christmas Day). By planning annual leave strategically, employees can enjoy holidays lasting nine or ten days, or even combine multiple breaks into a 17-day vacation with just eight days of leave.

The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on Friday, September 25, while Teachers' Day is observed on Monday, September 28. Taking leave from September 21 to 24 provides a 10-day holiday from September 19 to 28. Alternatively, taking leave from September 29 to October 2 also creates another 10-day break from September 25 to October 4.

For those seeking the longest vacation of the year, taking leave from September 29 to October 2 and again from October 5 to 8—a total of eight working days—allows for a continuous holiday from September 25 through October 11. This creates an impressive 17-day break, more than half a month, making it the most attractive leave arrangement in the second half of 2026.

Another opportunity comes at the end of the year. Constitution Day falls on Friday, December 25. By taking leave from December 21 to 24, employees can enjoy a nine-day holiday from December 19 to 27, making it an ideal time for year-end travel, family reunions, or Christmas celebrations.

Travelers are advised to plan ahead and book flights and accommodations early, as popular destinations are expected to fill quickly during these extended holiday periods.
